The book I¡¯m reading of talks about afternoon tea in Britain, It is said to have started in the early 1800¡¯s. Have tea in the late afternoon provides a bridge between lunch and dinner, to might not be served until 8 o¡¯clock at night. This custom soon becomes another meal of day. Interesting, it had a connection by the British porcelain (´ÉÆ÷) industry. Tea in China was traditionally drank from cups without handles. When tea got popular in Britain, there was a crying need for good cup with handles to suit British habits. This made for the grow in the porcelain industry.

Minutes after the last movie ended yesterday at the Plaza Theater, employees were busy sweeping up popcorns and gathering coke cups. It was a scene that had been repeated many times in the theater¡¯s 75-year history. This time, however, the cleanup was a little different. As one group of workers carried out the rubbish, another group began removing seats and other theater equipment in preparation for the building¡¯s end.
The film classic The Last Picture Show was the last movie shown in the old theater. Though the movie is 30 years old, most of the 250 seats were filled with teary-eyed audience wanting to say good-bye to the old building. Theater owner Ed Bradford said he chose the movie because it seemed proper. The movie is set in a small town where the only movie theater is preparing to close down.
Bradford said that large modem theaters in the city made it impossible for the Plaza to compete. He added that the theater¡¯s location (λÖÃ) was also a reason. ¡°This used to be the center of town,¡± he said. ¡°Now the area is mostly office buildings and warehouses.¡±
Last week some city officials suggested the city might be interested in turning the old theater into a museum and public meeting place. However, these plans were given up because of financial problems. Bradford sold the building and land to a local development firm, which plans to build a shopping complex on the land where the theater is located.
The theater audience said good-bye as Bradford locked the doors for the last time. After 75 years the Plaza Theater has shown its last movie. The theater will be missed.

2.Why was The Last Picture Stow put on?
A. It was an all-time classic.
B. It was about the history of the town.
C. The audience requested it.
D. The theater owner found it suitable.
3.What will probably happen to the building?
A. It will b& repaired.
B. It will be turned into a museum.
C. It will be knocked down.
D. It will be sold to the city government.
4.What can we infer about the audience?

An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.It is not exactly a bribe£¨»ß¸£©, but is close to it.
All sorts of people are apple polishers,including politicians and people in high offices¡ªjust about everybody. Oliver Cromwell,the great English leader,offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party,but failed.
There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing"¡ª"soft-soaping" or "butter-up".A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody,or to "butter him up".Another that is just as effective is flattery,giving someone high praise¡ªtelling him how good he looks,or how well he speaks,or how talented and wise he is.
Endless are the ways of flattery.Who does not love or hear it?Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is.In truth,flattery is good medicine for most of us,who gets so little of it.
We need it to be more sure of ourselves.It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it.But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment,as a cat laps up milk,then we can still remain true to ourselves.
Sometimes,however,flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it.A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England.The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers£¨³¯³¼£©.They over-praised him to the skies,as a man of limitless power.
He decided to teach them a lesson.He took them to the seashore and sat down.Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in.The tide was too busy to listen to him.The king was satisfied.This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.
1.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with "apple-polishing"?
A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks
B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management

When I was six, Dad brought home a dog one day, who was called ¡°Brownie¡± My brothers and I all loved Brownie and did different things with her. One of us would walk her, another would feed her, then there were baths, playing catch and many other games, Brownie in return, loved each and every one of us.

One day, as I was getting her food, she chewed up (Ò§ÆÆ) one of Dad¡¯s shoes, which had to be thrown away in the end. I knew Dad would be mad and I had to let her know what she did was wrong. When I looked at her and said, ¡°Bad girl,¡± she looked down at the ground and then went and hid. I saw a tear in her eyes.
Brownie turned out to be more than just our family pet, she went everywhere with us. People would stop and ask if they could pet her. Of course she¡¯d let anyone pet her. She was just the most lovable dog. There were many times when we¡¯d be out walking and a small child would come over and pull up her hair, she never barked (·Í) or tried to get away.

La Tomatina, Spain
Tomato juice flows through the streets of Bunol on the last Wednesday of August as the world¡¯s largest tomato fight happens. Festivities begin in the town square where there is a huge pole covered in soap and with a leg of ham at the top. Participants try to climb up the pole to get the ham as watchers throw buckets of water to them. After a gun is fired to signal the beginning of the fight, people catch the tomatoes and throw each other in the streets until the pistol sounds again, marking the end of the event.
Burning Man, Nevada
This infamous festival began in 1986 with the burning of a large figure to mark the summer solstice(ÏÄÖÁ). It¡¯s since grown into a week-long annual event that draws more than 48,000 people to the Black Rock Desert. It is held during the week before Labour Day. Participants set up camp in the desert to celebrate art.
Holi, India
This spring festival is celebrated throughout the country in late February or early March. The two-day event celebrates the legend of Prahlad, who escaped unharmed from the fire of the evil Holika Dahan. People mark the event by lighting fires and throwing coloured powder on one another. Children load coloured water into toy pistols called pichkari and take aim at passersby. Holi is known as a happy celebration of the triumph of good over evil.
Songkran, Thailand
This festival marks the Thai New Year, which is celebrated in the second week of April.
